Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 285 Cannon Fodder

Chapter 285 Cannon Fodder
This game seems to be a little easier than expected.

Ukumori High School has no background as a wealthy family and no luck bonus, so their strength is definitely not on the same level as Qingdao High School.

They were defeated only because they encountered a year when Daocheng Industry was in a period of transition.

This kind of thing happened because the main players of the third year had just retired and the new captain was unable to suppress Cheng Gong Ming.

If Ukumori High School met Daocheng Industry in summer, they would have no chance of winning.

You know, Daocheng Industry is best at playing dark horses.

During the summer competition, they were not afraid at all when facing the dark horse Sakurazawa High School.

He even beat Sakurazawa High School to a pulp.

"It's really strange. How could Daocheng Industrial not even be able to beat a team like this?"

In the audience, a boy wearing the Xianquan High School team uniform pinched his chin, expressing confusion.

He is Yosuke Maki, the ace pitcher of Sensen High School.

He secured this position by relying on his height and a curveball with a large deviation.

His physique seems tailor-made for a pitcher.

Now, he has led Xianquan High School to victory in the third battle and is waiting for the opponent in the fourth round.

During this period, all of them came to watch the games of Seidou High School.

Seidou High School is also their potential opponent.

As for Ugusumori High School, they only had a glimmer of hope.

After all, he was the one who defeated Daocheng Industrial.

But after today's game, they no longer have any illusions about Ukumori High School.

An ordinary playing style, an ordinary batting line, and only an ace pitcher with momentum.

It's really funny that a team composed like this defeated Daocheng Industry.

"I guess I was careless."

Yagi also spoke.

Yagi is the person who knows Maki best and is also the top catcher of Sensen High School.

"Top of the second inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the seventh batter, center fielder, Tojo-san."

"Tojo, two points are not enough!"

"Hit it out there and keep scoring!"

After Tojo came on the court, it was obvious that everyone from Qingdao High School had high hopes for him.

The current score is still dangerous.

Jinwan in the bullpen, with his spiky hair, was also paying attention to Tojo's attacks, and even forgot his warm-up task.

Tojo and he have been good friends since they played minor league baseball.

Now that Tojo is on the field to attack, Kanemaru certainly cannot be missed.

If you miss Zhou Hui’s attack, you must not miss Tojo’s.

"Whoosh!"

Gritting his teeth, Umemiya threw the baseball.

To be honest, Tojo didn't feel any pressure about this goal.

It's just a straight ball of about 100km, what's the big deal.

He could throw a straight ball at this speed when he was in elementary school.

But Umemiya's expression made him a little panicked.

What he feared the most was this kind of wild and aggressive approach, which was why the Matsukata Youth Baseball Team had no champion in the national competition.

Tojo, the ace pitcher, has obvious shortcomings.

As long as he is not too weak, he can be intimidated by a fierce-looking man sent by the opponent.

This can be seen from the welcome match of Seidou High School.

Facing those ferocious seniors, Tojo's performance was definitely not 100%.

Maybe his strength is not as good as those seniors, but he can really suppress them for a period of time.

"Snapped!"

The baseball slowly fell into the glove of catcher Kishine. The speed of the ball was indeed not very fast.

"Bad ball."

"Ah?!"

This judgment was something Umemiya had not expected.

He never thought that it was a bad ball.

He was obviously very confident in his ball control. "Hahahahahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

"That's right, Mei must have thought she was very handsome just now."

"Pfft, I can't hold it in anymore, hahahahahaha!"

All the fielders from Ukumori High School burst into laughter.

Seeing their ace pitcher make a fool of himself seemed to make them happier than winning.

This is the style of Ujimusi High School.

No one knows why.

Zhou Hui was also confused.

For someone with his personality, he has no idea why Ukumori High School is like this.

He shook his head and chose to continue watching the game.

When the head coach of Ukusumori High School, Zenjiro Yoshimoto, saw this scene, he was relieved.

At least they were all still laughing.

It's a good thing that you haven't gotten discouraged yet.

"Whoosh!"

For the next pitch, Tojo thought Umemiya would change his direction, but who would have thought that the baseball would still go in the direction of a straight ball.

When he swung the bat, he realized he could not hit the ball, so he had to quickly change the position of the bat.

He is different from Zhou Hui. It is impossible for him to hit the ball smoothly by changing the position of the bat.

"Qiang!"

He thought it was reasonable that he didn't hit the center of the ball.

But he wondered why, as a pitcher, he didn't know what the opposing pitcher was thinking?
As a wild kid like Umemiya, he doesn't know much about professional baseball knowledge.

He is not someone who came from a professional system, so how could he know what to do and when.

But it is precisely because of this clarity that all those professional data are invalid.

It is most suitable for dealing with people like Tojo.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

The shortstop jumped out and caught the baseball, then passed it to first base, eliminating Tojo.

The opening attack of this round finally brought a little warmth to Ukusumi High School.

"Eighth batter, left fielder, Aso-san."

As the fourth batter in junior high school, I felt a little uncomfortable standing in the batter's box as the eighth batter.

But he knew that in a place like Seidou High School where there were so many strong players, it was already a pretty good thing that he could become a member of the team's starting lineup.

So he is slowly accepting this position.

But for a player who is about to enter the third grade, it is indeed a bit difficult.

I may not even think about participating in the professional draft in the future. I just hope I can stay stable in the team’s starting lineup.

At least this way, he can also have the opportunity to play in the college league.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

The swing was still active and decisive, and the baseball was hit hard and flew directly over the head of the right fielder.

"Snapped!"

The right fielder caught the baseball easily.

"Out!"

Two outs, already secured.

Umemiya's performance was actually not that outstanding, it was just because of Seidou High School's batting line.
